| Sep 21, 2020 at 7:24 | comment | added | Giacomo Catenazzi | My comment was just technical. We understood your question. Just technically "broadcasting" has a different meaning compared your "having access to". I'm curious about an answer (OTOH I think the answer will be soon obsolete: very dynamic field [and I think they will share old info as well]). And as other wrote, we may never know which extend the exchange it is done (e.g. all refusals. refusal with forged docs [or other suspicion activities], or just (as the original intent) just for potentially dangerous people] | |

| Sep 19, 2020 at 4:53 | comment | added | JosephCorrectEnglishPronouns | Another concern for the question would be... However murky the conditions and format and extent of the information shared among five eyes, would it then be shared further onwards by the other 5E members to other countries still? | |
| Sep 18, 2020 at 15:31 | comment | added | Relaxed | Question seems valid to me, at least regarding EU data (SIS, VIS). The EU is very legalistic, the nature of the information and scope of data exchange are in fact largely public and subject to legal review. There are procedural safeguards but generally speaking, you have a right to know why you are refused a visa, what data is held about you, for how long, etc. IIRC, the UK's participation has also been examined by the EUCJ. If someone has time to dig up all this information, it should be possible to write a good answer. Five Eyes collaboration might indeed be different. | |

| Sep 18, 2020 at 12:50 | comment | added | Giacomo Catenazzi | @Moo: are you sure? I think the answer is no, just because the question uses a "following specific events broadcasted". I assume it is mostly a database lookup (maybe a common database), and not a "broadcast". But I agree with you on the general meaning of the question. | |

| Sep 18, 2020 at 0:36 | comment | added | user105640 | Information is shared between the Five Eyes treaty countries - UK, US, Canada, Australia and New Zealand. I've never seen anything indicating exactly what is shared, but the working assumption is always 'if one knows, they all know'. | |
| Sep 18, 2020 at 0:33 | comment | added | user29788 | You aren't really going to get a good answer to this because a lot of the agreements are confidential or part of larger data sharing agreements. | |
